They can “see" into space up to ten times clearer than similar-sized telescopes on Earth.These satellites are used to study the planets in our solar system and mysterious phenomen a such as black holes. A well-known example of an astronomy satellite is the Hubble Space Telescope which has...

Despite the lack of insight into the innards of a black hole, physicists do know that black holes exist. The first evidence came in the form of Cygnus X-1, a bright source of X-rays about 6,000 light-years away, NASA explained. Observations of that system revealed a small, dense, da...

We’re only just grasping how cosmic black holes and Einstein’s theories relate – and that deepens our sense of wonder, says Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
There is evidence for things like black holes in the centers of globular clusters (e.g., M4), just like in the centers of galaxies. Also, some globular clusters may be the remnants of dwarf galaxies being absorbed by the Milky Way, such as Laevens 1 (which is out in the halo of ...
spinningneutron starcalled apulsar— but, under certain conditions, it could be a stellar-mass black hole. This is the standard story of stellar timelines. However, astronomers are now beginning to come around to the idea that some stars that produce black holes may do sowithouta supernova ...
Sophisticated civilization appears to harmonize around a necessary fear of something. This spurs change. In no chronological order; god, acid rain, witches, monsters under bed, nuclear apocalypse, environmental catastrophe, ozone holes, death, aliens,...
In particular, I’ve focused on the supermassive black holes that lurk at the center of galaxies. Most of the time they are inactive, but when they are active and eat stars and gas, the region close to the black hole can outshine the entire galaxy...
